Short description: Chemical compound


The generic formula of an azine. For an aldazine, R2 = H.

Azines are a functional class of organic compounds with the connectivity RR'C=N-N=CRR'. These compounds are the product of the condensation of hydrazine with ketones and aldehydes, although in practice they are often made by alternative routes. Ketazines are azines derived from ketones.[1] For example, acetone azine is the simplest ketazine. Aldazines are azines derived from aldehydes.[2]

Preparation

The usual method of industrial production is the peroxide process, starting from the ketone, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide.[3]

In the laboratory, azines are typically prepared by condensation of hydrazine with two equivalents of a carbonyl.[4]

Azines are also produced when chalcone reacts with a hydrazone to produce 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole,[5] in a conversion also carried out with hydrazine hydrate.[6][7]

Reactions

Azines characteristically undergo hydrolysis to hydrazines. The reaction proceeds by the intermediacy of a hydrazone:

R2C=N-N=CR2 + H2O → R2C=N-NH2 + R2C=O
R2C=N-NH2 + H2O → N2H4 + R2C=O

Azines have been used as precursors to hydrazones:[4][8]

R2C=N-N=CR2 + N2H4 → 2 R2C=N-NH2

They are also precursors to diazo compounds.[9][8][10]

The coordination chemistry of azines (as ligands) has also been studied.[11][12][13]

Acetone is used to derivatize hydrazine into acetone azine for analysis by gas chromatography. This method is used to determine trace levels of hydrazine in drinking water[14] and pharmaceuticals.[15]

Applications

Ketazines are also important intermediates in the industrial production of hydrazine hydrate by the peroxide process.[3] In the presence of an oxidant, ammonia and ketones react to give hydrazine via ketazine:

2 Me(Et)C=O + 2 NH3 + H2O2 → Me(Et)C=NN=C(Et)Me + 2 H2O

The ketazine can be hydrolyzed to the hydrazine and regenerate the ketone:

Me(Et)C=NN=C(Et)Me + 2 H2O → 2 Me(Et)C=O + N2H4

Ketazines have been also used as sources of hydrazine produced in situ, for example in the production of herbicide precursor 1,2,4-triazole.[16]
